Would You See the Drowning? New App Helps Parents Spot the Danger… Before It’s Too Late

STATE COLLEGE, Pa., May 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Most drownings don’t look like you think they do. There’s no screaming. No flailing. Just a silent struggle that can go unnoticed in less than 30 seconds.

To raise awareness and help prevent tragedy, aquatic safety experts Dr. Tom Griffiths and Dr. Rachel Griffiths developed Dr. Tom’s Lifeguard Vision – a mobile app that simulates real drowning behaviors so parents, caregivers, and lifeguards can learn what to look for before it’s too late.

Recently recognized as one of Aquatics International’s 2024 Most Valuable Products, the app presents short, realistic drowning scenarios that help users sharpen their detection skills anytime, anywhere. Whether you’re heading to the pool, prepping for swim lessons, or conducting in-service training, this app ensures your eyes are trained to spot the subtle signs of drowning – because it can happen fast and without warning.

“You can’t save what you can’t see,” says Dr. Griffiths. “Our goal is simple: make drowning prevention something everyone can practice.”

Dr. Tom’s Lifeguard Vision is available to download at no cost on the App Store and Google Play.

The app is ideal for:

• Parents and caregivers
• Lifeguards and swim instructors
• Health educators and pediatricians
